[Agenda Items]
CONSIDER APPROVAL OF THE MINUTES FROM THE AUGUST 26TH, 2025 PLANNING ZONING COMMISSION MEETING. I'M LOOKING FOR A MOTION. I GOT A MOTION AND A SECOND. GOT A SECOND? ALL IN FAVOR? OKAY. ITEM NUMBER TWO. SITE PLAN. CASE NUMBER 2025-014 SP, DISCUSS AND TAKE ACTION ON A SITE. PLAN FOR AN INDOOR COMMERCIAL AMUSEMENT FACILITY AND WAREHOUSE COMPLEX LOCATED AT 303 AND A HALF WEST SIMMONS SEAGOVILLE, TEXAS. 75 159. BILL. THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN, AND GOOD EVENING. SO AS YOU MENTIONED HERE, THIS IS A SITE PLAN REQUEST FOR A WAREHOUSE COMPLEX AT 303 AND A HALF WEST SIMMONS. THIS IS THE PROPERTY OUTLINED IN RED ON YOUR SCREEN.IT'S A JUST OFF THE HIGHWAY, I'D SAY, ABOUT 1000FT JUST SOUTH OF OF THE FRONTAGE ROAD THERE AND NORTH WEST OF THE PRISON. SO CURRENTLY IT'S BEING USED AS A TRUCK PARKING, AS YOU CAN SEE. THE PROPERTY IS ZONED LIGHT MANUFACTURING. THAT'S THAT PURPLE THAT YOU SEE. AND YOUR DARK MAROON IS COMMERCIAL. THAT BEING SAID, IF I GO BACK TO MY LAST SLIDE, YOU'LL SEE THAT EVERYTHING IN THIS AREA IS ENGAGED IN INDUSTRIAL OR COMMERCIAL OR MANUFACTURING TYPE USES. SO WAREHOUSING, ESPECIALLY BEING THIS CLOSE TO THE HIGHWAY AND ALONG SIMMONS, NOT ONLY IS IT ALLOWABLE USE OR PERMITTED USE WITHIN THE ZONING DISTRICT, IT ALSO MAKES A LOT OF SENSE GIVEN WHERE IT'S LOCATED. SO I'M GOING TO MOVE TO THIS. THIS IS OUR SITE PLAN.
YOU DO HAVE A CLEARER COPY IN YOUR PACKET. THIS SITE PLAN COMPLIES WITH ALL OF OUR ZONING AND DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS FOR SITE PLAN APPROVAL. THERE'S ALSO LANDSCAPE PLANNING HERE AS WELL. IF YOU'D LIKE TO TAKE A CLOSER LOOK AT THAT. YOU DO HAVE SEVERAL BUILDINGS WITH A HAMMERHEAD AT THE VERY END TO ALLOW FOR FIRE AND EMERGENCY SERVICES TURNAROUND. WE'VE HAD OUR FIRE MARSHAL AND BUILDING OFFICIAL LOOK AT THE SITE TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE'S ADEQUATE ACCESS, AND THAT THERE'S APPROPRIATE ROOM TO GET IN AND OUT. IN TOTAL, YOU'RE LOOKING AT WAREHOUSES THAT RANGE IN SIZE FROM 5950 TO JUST UNDER 5990FT■!S IN SIZE. EACH WAREHOUE DOES ALSO HAVE ADJACENT TRUCK LOADING AND UNLOADING, JUST SO THAT WAY YOU'RE NOT HAVING TRUCKS, LOADING AND UNLOADING EQUIPMENT OR SHIPPING MATERIAL OUT. WHATEVER'S GOING TO BE STORED IN THESE WAREHOUSES IN THE FIRE LANE OR TAKING UP PARKING SPACES. THAT WAY YOU MAINTAIN FREE FLOW OF TRAFFIC. NOW TOWARDS THE FRONT OF THE SITE, YOU'LL SEE THIS WAREHOUSE AT THE BOTTOM HERE CLOSEST TO SIMMONS, THE APPLICANTS WANTING TO TURN THAT INTO AN INDOOR AMUSEMENT FOR KIDS THAT'S GOING TO HAVE LIKE BOUNCE HOUSES, BALL PITS, THAT SORT OF THING
[00:05:03]
WHERE THEY CAN GET AROUND AND JUMP LIKE A TRAMPOLINE PARK. SO THIS BEING A REALLY ALREADY HAVING A LOT OF TRAFFIC, THERE IS ADEQUATE PARKING. WE WENT AHEAD AND COUNTED ALL THE PARKING SPACES. WHAT'S REQUIRED FOR THIS SITE, GIVEN THE LAND USE, IS 102 PARKING SPACES.THEY'RE ACTUALLY PROVIDING 110. IF YOU GO AND COUNT ALL THESE UP, YOU GET 110. SO THEY MORE THAN MEET THAT REQUIREMENT. SOMETHING ELSE TO CONSIDER IS WE DON'T KNOW EXACTLY WHAT'S GOING TO BE STORED IN ALL THESE BUILDINGS JUST YET. HOWEVER, BASED ON WHAT IS GOING TO BE STORED IN THERE, THE FIRE MARSHAL MAY REQUIRE ADDITIONAL FIRE ALARMS, ADDITIONAL EXITS IN THE BUILDINGS, ADDITIONAL FIRE SPRINKLERS, THINGS OF THAT SORT. AS FAR AS AN EMPTY SHELL BUILDING GOES, THAT ISN'T A REQUIREMENT. BUT ONCE WE START GETTING INTO LIKE FOR EXAMPLE, THE INDOOR CHILDREN'S AMUSEMENT, OR IF THEY'RE STORING A LOT OF FLAMMABLE MATERIALS IN THESE WAREHOUSES, THEN THAT'S WHEN YOU'LL SEE FIRE SUPPRESSION TO BE REQUIRED. SO I'M PRESENT FOR ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE. WE RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THIS REQUEST. AS I SAID, IT COMPLIES WITH ALL OUR ZONING AND DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS. THE APPLICANT COULD NOT MAKE IT TONIGHT, SO THAT'S UNFORTUNATE. HOWEVER, WE ARE STILL RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF THE SITE PLAN. IS THIS. NO SIR. THAT'S JUST A LOCATION MAP SHOWING HOW IT EXISTS TODAY.
LET ME SHOW YOU. IT LOOKS LIKE THE OLD TIRE PLACE IS WHAT IT. YES. SO YOU'RE SEEING THIS BUILDING RIGHT HERE? YES. YEAH. NO, THAT THAT'S NOT CHANGING. THAT'S A DIFFERENT PROPERTY.
OKAY. YES, SIR. I HAVE A QUESTION. OKAY, SO THESE ARE ALL MULTIPLE BUILDINGS THAT ARE GOING TO BE BUILT ON THIS PROPERTY. ARE ALL OF THEM GOING TO HAVE SOMETHING FOR CHILDREN OR JUST THE ONE BUILDING? JUST THE ONE THAT'S NEAR THE FRONT RIGHT NOW? OKAY. GO BACK NOW.
THE INDOOR COMMERCIAL AMUSEMENT IS A LAND USE THAT'S ALLOWED IN THIS ZONING DISTRICT. SO IF THEY WANTED TO UTILIZE THOSE OTHER BUILDINGS FOR, I GUESS, YOU KNOW, LIKE A MINI GOLF OR SOMETHING ELSE, THAT'S ALSO INDOOR AMUSEMENT, THEY COULD. SO THOSE WILL BE FOR RENT AFTER THEY'RE BUILT. YES, MA'AM. AND THESE WILL ALL BE AT THE SAME TIME. RIGHT. THE THE APPLICANT HASN'T MADE IT CLEAR TO US IF THEY'RE GOING TO BE DOING, YOU KNOW, 1 OR 2 BUILDINGS AT A TIME OR HOW THEY'RE GOING TO PHASE IT. OKAY. WHEN ARE THEY PLANNING ON DOING THE CHILDREN'S AMUSEMENT FIRST? YES, MA'AM. THAT'S OUR UNDERSTANDING. WHAT TYPE OF WHAT'S CHILDREN TALKING? ELEMENTARY KIDS. THIS HIGH SCHOOL? YEAH. THEY DIDN'T GIVE US AN AGE ON THAT. NOW, SOME OF THESE PLACES, THEY DO CATER TO SOME OLDER KIDS AS WELL, SOME TEENAGERS, BUT THEY TEND TO HAVE LIKE INDOOR SLIDES, INDOOR PLAY SETS, LIKE I SAID, BALL PITS, TRAMPOLINES, INDOOR BASKETBALL FOR THEM TO PLAY MORE LIKE ELEMENTARY. OKAY. I DON'T HAVE ANY MORE QUESTIONS.
I'M LOOKING FOR A MOTION. I RECOMMEND APPROVAL. I HAVE A MOTION FOR APPROVAL. NEED A SECOND? GOT A SECOND? ALL IN FAVOR? OKAY. ITEM NUMBER THREE. REZONE. CASE NUMBER 2025023 PDA DASH. CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING. DISCUSS AND MAKE A RECOMMENDATION TO THE CITY COUNCIL ON A ZONING CHANGE FROM THE PLANNED DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT TO AN AMENDED PLAN DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT FOR TRACTS OF LAND KNOWN GENERALLY AS THE GREENWALD DEVELOPMENT AND CONSISTING OF A COMBINED TOTAL OF APPROXIMATELY 89.71 PLUS OR MINUS ACRES, BEING MORE COMMONLY KNOWN AS 1370 ALTO ROAD AND 900 ALTO ROAD, SEAGOVILLE, TEXAS. THIS FIRST.
OKAY, I'M GOING TO OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 642. BILL. THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN. SO THIS IS A REZONE AND A PUBLIC HEARING LIKE YOU MENTIONED FROM THE PLAN DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT,
[00:10:02]
BASICALLY TO AMEND THE EXISTING PD OR PLAN DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT KNOWN AS GREENWALT. HERE'S THE SUBJECT PROPERTY OUTLINED IN RED. THIS IS PAST COMMONLY KNOWN. WE REFER TO AS THE HORSE TRACK PROPERTY OR MRS. HUERTA PROPERTY THERE ON FARMERS ON ALTO AT THE VERY DEAD END. AND THAT'S COTTONWOOD CREEK. YOU CAN KIND OF SEE THE DIRT MOVING AT THE BOTTOM WHERE THE NEW SUBDIVISIONS GOING IN. AND HERE IS THE PROPERTY ON OUR ZONING MAP, THAT ORDINANCE RIGHT THERE, 1320, 22 IS THE CURRENT PLANNED DEVELOPMENT, WHICH THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING TO AMEND.AS YOU CAN SEE, THERE ARE AREAS ALSO ENGAGED IN RESIDENTIAL USE AND HAS BEEN ZONED IN A RESIDENTIAL WAY, ALSO COMPLIES WITH OUR FUTURE LAND USE PLAN. SO I WANT TO RUN THROUGH THE WHAT THE REQUEST INCLUDES BECAUSE THERE IS A LOT OF INFORMATION TO GET TO, AND I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE CAN SEE THAT IN THIS CASE, IN THIS ZONING AMENDMENT REQUEST, WE'RE SEEING THAT THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING TO PROVIDE IMPROVEMENTS FROM WHAT WAS PREVIOUSLY ADOPTED BACK IN 2022. SO IN THE ORIGINAL PLAN DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT, THE PROPERTY WAS ENTITLED OR IS ENTITLED FOR 331 TRADITIONAL SINGLE FAMILY LOTS AS WELL AS 75 WHAT WERE KNOWN AS COTTAGE LOTS. NOW THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING 331 TRADITIONAL SINGLE FAMILY AND ACTUALLY REDUCING THE NUMBER OF COTTAGE UNITS DOWN TO 54. AND THE REASON IS THEY WANTED TO BUILD A LARGER PROPERTY AND KIND OF IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF THAT COTTAGE. AND AS YOU CAN SEE, WE'LL GET INTO SOME OF THE FLOOR PLANS LATER. ONE OF THE DRIVING FORCES IS THE MARKET'S KIND OF DEMANDING THAT THESE, THESE COTTAGE OR KIND OF LIKE TOWNHOME PRODUCT ACTUALLY HAVE THE MASTER BEDROOM ON THE FIRST FLOOR. AND SO INSTEAD OF PUTTING IT ON THE SECOND FLOOR, WE HAD TO BE SOME ADJUSTMENTS TO CATER TO THAT TO THAT CLIENTELE. SO IN THE ORIGINAL PD THE COTTAGE SECTION WAS GATED. THOSE GATES ARE BEING REMOVED. ONE OF THE BIG REASONS FOR THAT IS THE APPLICANT IS SEEKING A PIDD. AND IN ORDER FOR A PIDD TO BE APPROVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL, YOU CAN'T HAVE SEPARATE GATED COMMUNITIES LIKE THAT. IT HAS TO BE ALL INCLUSIVE FOR EVERYONE TO USE ANY AMENITIES WHEREVER THEY'RE AT ON THE SITE. IN THE ORIGINAL PD, THERE WAS ACTUALLY NO BASE ZONING IDENTIFIED FOR THE SINGLE FAMILY. SO NORMALLY WHEN WE ADOPT A PD, WE IDENTIFY THAT ANYTHING NOT IDENTIFIED OR MENTIONED IN THE ZONING DISTRICT IN THE PD HAS A DEFAULT BASE ZONING. IT HELPS SOLVE A LOT OF ISSUES IF WE RUN INTO THINGS DURING THE DEVELOPMENT PHASE, THAT WAS NEVER IDENTIFIED. AND SO IT'S A BIG HELP TO HAVE THE APPLICANT COME IN AND REQUEST THAT THEY WANT AN R5 BASED ZONING DISTRICT FOR THE SINGLE FAMILY TRACT. THEY'RE KEEPING THE LOT WIDTH THE SAME IN THE ORIGINAL PD ON THE LEFT SIDE HERE YOU'LL SEE THAT THE LOT DEPTH WAS NEVER IDENTIFIED, MEANING IF THEY WANTED TO COME IN AND PUT A REALLY SHORT LOT, AS LONG AS THEY MET THE SQUARE FOOTAGE AND SETBACKS, THEY'D BE PERMITTED TO DO SO. IN THIS CASE, THEY'RE COMING BACK AND SAYING, WELL, LET'S ACTUALLY SET A STANDARD AND DO 115FT IN THE ORIGINAL PD, THE FRONT YARD SETBACK WAS REDUCED DOWN TO 21FT, AND NOW THEY'RE THEY'RE REQUESTING 25.
SO THEY WANT TO SET THAT HOUSE BACK A LITTLE BIT MORE AND IMPROVE THE LOOK AND FEEL OF IT.
THE REAR YARD HASN'T CHANGED MUCH. WE JUST KIND OF CLEANED UP THE LANGUAGE THERE A LITTLE BIT. I'LL MOVE ON TO OUR NEXT SLIDE. THE ORIGINAL PD. THERE WAS NO STANDARD FOR ROOF PITCHES. TYPICALLY, WHENEVER YOU START TO SEE A STEEPER ROOF PITCH, YOU BY DEFAULT GET A LITTLE BIT NICER HOUSING PRODUCT. THE FLATTER THE ROOF, THE MORE BOXY OF A HOUSE THAT YOU'RE GOING TO GET. AND SO WHEN WE WERE WORKING WITH MISTER ROBBIE HALE, WHO'S HERE TONIGHT, I'LL TURN THE MIC OVER TO THEM HERE IN A SECOND. WE TALKED ABOUT TRYING TO GET A LITTLE BIT STEEPER ROOF PITCH, AND HE WAS MORE THAN HAPPY TO COMPLY WITH THAT AND GIVE US AN EIGHT AND 12 ROOF PITCH OVER 60% OF THE SURFACE AREA, WHICH IS WHICH IS PRETTY GOOD.
MAXIMUM LOT COVERAGE WAS PREVIOUSLY PREVIOUSLY SET TO 40%. AND THEY ARE SHOWING SOME LOOKS LIKE SOME NUMBERS GOT CARRIED OVER IN A WEIRD WAY IN HERE, BUT THEY ARE SHOWING SOME 40S AND SOME 50S TO KIND OF GIVE THEM A MIX OR FLEXIBILITY. SO THAT WAY THEY CAN BUILD A LITTLE BIT LARGER PRODUCT ON THESE LOTS. ANTI MONOTONY STANDARDS IS SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT WHERE YOU DRIVE INTO A NEIGHBORHOOD AND EVERY HOUSE KIND OF LOOKS THE SAME. AND AGAIN, MISTER ROBBIE HALE AND HIS TEAM WERE MORE THAN HAPPY TO OBLIGE US AND, AND SAY, LOOK, WE WE HAVE NO PROBLEM MAKING DISTINCT ELEVATIONS AND WE WON'T USE THE SAME ELEVATION WITHIN SIX HOMES AND ACROSS THE STREET, WHICH THAT'S A HUGE, HUGE IMPROVEMENT TO WHEN YOU'RE DRIVING DOWN THE STREET. HOW THAT'S GOING TO LOOK. THE ORIGINAL PD DID NOT HAVE MINIMUM EXTERIOR BUILDING STANDARDS. AND NOW MISTER ROBBIE HILL'S PROPOSING IMPROVED STANDARDS, WHICH INCLUDE MASONRY ON ON THE BUILDING AS WELL. AND THAT THAT STANDARDS IN THE PROPOSED AMENDMENTS. SO WE'RE GOING FROM
[00:15:06]
NOT HAVING MASONRY TO MASONRY ON THE FRONT AND THE SIDES. THERE WERE NO ADDITIONAL LANDSCAPE REQUIREMENTS. NOW THEY'RE PROPOSING ADDITIONAL TREES AND SHRUBS IN THE FRONT YARD, AS WELL AS MASONRY LANDSCAPING BEDS IN THE SINGLE FAMILY HOMES. SO IF YOU DRIVE SOME OF THESE NICER NEIGHBORHOODS, YOU'LL SEE THAT THEY HAVE A STONE OR MASONRY BRICK AND MORTAR LANDSCAPE BED IN THE FRONT WITH IRRIGATION AND WHEAT POLES FOR DRAINAGE.HE'LL BE INCLUDING THAT. AND NUMBER 12 HERE IT WAS WRITTEN THAT PART OF THE AMENITIES WERE DETENTION PONDS. WHILE DETENTION PONDS ARE NICE, THEY'RE THEY'RE NOT NECESSARILY AMENITIES. THEY'RE THEY'RE THEY'RE CIVIL ENGINEERING AND CONSTRUCTION REQUIREMENTS TO MAKE SURE THAT, YOU KNOW, WATER IS FLOWING CORRECTLY. MR. ROBBIE HILL AND HIS TEAM HAVE ACTUALLY PROPOSED SIGNIFICANT IMPROVEMENTS TO AMENITIES, INCLUDING SEVERAL PLAYGROUNDS, FIVE PICKLEBALL COURTS, A HALF BASKETBALL COURT, WALKING TRAIL, A 2000 SQUARE FOOT AMENITY CENTER, AND A 2000 SQUARE FOOT POOL WITH DECK AREA. THEN WE LOOK AT OUR COTTAGE TRACT AND WE KIND OF SEE THE SAME THING HAPPENING WHERE THERE WAS NO PREVIOUS BASE ZONING IDENTIFIED.
HE WENT AHEAD AND SELECTED THE APARTMENT DISTRICT, WHICH SERVES WELL FOR WHAT THEY WANT TO DO. KIND OF GIVES US A COMPASS AS WE START TO REVIEW PLANS AND WORK ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE PROJECT. FRONT YARD SETBACK WENT FROM 18FT AND IS BUMPING THAT UP TO 20 LOT WIDTH AND DEPTH WERE NOT IDENTIFIED, WHICH IS NOT A GOOD THING. AND NOW HE'S PROPOSING TO ACTUALLY SET THAT AT A 40 AND 90. AND FOR TOWNHOME PRODUCT THAT SHOULD BE MORE THAN SUFFICIENT. ESPECIALLY WE'LL GET INTO THE THE ACTUAL CONCEPT AND LAYOUT. THAT SHOULD WORK. ALSO GUEST PARKING. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE'RE CONCERNED A LOT FROM HEARING FROM OUR COUNCIL AND OUR RESIDENT FEEDBACK, IS PARKING IN THE STREETS, RIGHT. WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT EMERGENCY VEHICLES CAN GET IN AND OUT OF THE SITE. DRIVEWAYS AREN'T BEING BLOCKED, MAILBOXES AREN'T BEING BLOCKED. AND SO THERE, THE DEVELOPERS PROPOSING 42 VISITOR PARKING IN THE SITE. THIS IS JUST PARKING THAT IS DEDICATED FOR PEOPLE THAT ARE VISITING TO GET OFF THE STREET, WHETHER IT'S DURING THE HOLIDAYS OR THEY HAVE FRIENDS OVER, TO KIND OF GIVE THEM A PLACE TO GO. ALSO, PROPOSING TO MAKE THAT STREET IN THE COTTAGE AREA AS A DESIGNATED DESIGNATED FIRE LANE, MEANING THAT YOU CAN'T PARK THERE NO MATTER WHAT KIND OF KEEP THAT OPEN. AND THEN LET'S SEE. THE OTHER BIG THING HERE IS STREET LAMP SPECS.
OUR DEVELOPMENT CODE DOESN'T SAY MUCH ABOUT ABOUT STREET LAMPS AND THE STANDARDS. WE TEND TO JUST REFER BACK TO WHAT ENCORE REQUIRES. IN THIS CASE, THEY'RE PROPOSING ANTIQUE STYLE STREET LAMPS EVERY 600FT AND AT THE CORNERS AND INTERSECTIONS. SO MAKE SURE THAT THIS SITE IS WELL LIT AND THAT IF YOU'RE WALKING YOUR DOG AT NIGHT OR EARLY IN THE MORNING, YOU CAN HAVE HIGH VISIBILITY TO GET AROUND, WHICH IS ANOTHER CONCERN THAT WE HEAR BACK FROM OUR EXISTING RESIDENTS. RIGHT? SO KIND OF TAKING THAT FEEDBACK FROM OUR COMMUNITY AND TRYING TO BUILD THAT INTO THESE NEW DEVELOPMENTS THAT WE'RE GETTING. HERE IS THE CONCEPT PLAN. AND YOU HAVE ALL OF THIS AND MORE IN YOUR PACKET. BUT I JUST WANTED TO KIND OF GIVE YOU A, AN OVERLAY OF HOW THE SITE WOULD WORK. SO ON THE LEFT OF YOUR SCREEN THERE, THAT'S ALTO ROAD. AND AT THE TOP OF YOUR SCREEN THAT'S LASSITER ROAD. JUST FOR REFERENCE, YOU HAVE ON THE LEFT, STARTING AT THE BOTTOM CORNER OF YOUR SCREEN, YOU HAVE ALL THE SINGLE FAMILY TRACKS OF LAND WITH ENTRY FEATURES, AND YOU DO HAVE A STONE MASONRY WALL TO SCREEN IN THE BACK OF THE SINGLE FAMILY HOMES, AND THEN YOU MOVE UP TO FOUR PICKLEBALL COURTS, AS WELL AS A BLACK LIKE A WROUGHT IRON TYPE STYLE FENCING. SO THAT WAY WHEN YOU'RE DRIVING, YOU SEE THE OPEN AREA, YOU SEE THE PLAYGROUND, YOU SEE THE PICKLEBALL COURTS. YOU KIND OF SEE THAT THIS COMMUNITY IS HEAVILY ENGAGED IN AMENITIZED. AS YOU KEEP MOVING NORTH ALONG ALTO ROAD, THAT GRAYED OUT AREA IS WHAT WE'RE CALLING THE COTTAGE TRACT. YOU CAN SEE THE POOL AREA ON THAT STREET THAT THEY'VE IDENTIFIED AS AS JUNIPER. NOW, SOME OF THESE STREET NAMES MAY CHANGE, BUT THESE ARE JUST KIND OF GOOD REFERENCE POINTS FOR OUR DISCUSSION TONIGHT. SO YOU CAN SEE WHERE THE AMENITY CENTER IS GOING TO BE. YOU CAN ALSO SEE THOSE HASH MARKS FOR ON STREET PARKING. SO YOU CAN SEE THAT THEY'RE CALLING OUT ALL THE PARKING SPACES, AS WELL AS ADDITIONAL ORNAMENTAL FENCING. AND THEN THE REST OF THE SITE IS BUILT OUT. LIKE I SAID, FOR SINGLE FAMILY HOMES, YOUR MORE TRADITIONAL TRACT OF LAND. SO I'M GOING TO MOVE ON. SO THESE ARE SOME SLIDES THAT WE RECEIVED FROM ROBBIE HALE AND HIS TEAM, THE SHEPHERD PLACE HOMES. SO THIS KIND OF GIVES YOU A BETTER IDEA OF HOW THAT THAT UPDATED AND UPGRADED COTTAGE TRACT WILL FUNCTION. YOU HAVE YOUR AMENITY CENTER
[00:20:01]
KIND OF IN THE IN THE MIDDLE THERE WITH A POOL, AND YOU CAN SEE THAT DECK AREA. YOU SEE A PLAYGROUND, YOU SEE ALL THESE STREET PARKING. THERE ARE PLENTY OF CUL DE SACS AND CUL DE SACS, BUT TURNAROUNDS AND ACCESS FOR EMERGENCY SERVICES. NOW YOU WILL SEE THAT LARGE GAP IN THE MIDDLE AND SEE SOME OF YOU BE ASKING, WHY IS THAT LEFT ALONE? THAT PROPERTY IS AN ENCORE EASEMENT. THEY THEY DON'T EVEN LIKE PEOPLE TO PUT IRRIGATION IN IN THOSE AREAS.SO THERE'S THERE'S NOT MUCH WE CAN DO. WE TALKED ABOUT POTENTIALLY GETTING WALKING TRAILS IN THERE TO CONNECT. WE STILL WANT THAT. BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY, IF ENCORE DOESN'T WANT TO TO ALLOW THAT, THERE'S WE CAN'T FORCE THEM. AND HERE ARE JUST SOME CONCEPT ILLUSTRATIONS OF THE COTTAGES. AS YOU CAN SEE, THEY STILL HAVE TWO CAR GARAGES. THE MINIMUM SQUARE FOOTAGE IS 1600 SQUARE FEET, AND THIS IS ONE OF THE TWO STORY ELEVATIONS. ONE OF THE FLOOR PLANS JUST TO KIND OF GET YOU AGAIN A FEEL FOR HOW HOW THESE. THESE HOUSES ESSENTIALLY EVEN THOUGH THEY'RE ON A SMALLER LOT, THEY'RE IN A HIGHLY AMENITIZED COMMUNITY WITH A LOT OF ASSETS HERE, AS WELL AS IT BEING 1700 SQUARE FEET IN OUR SINGLE FAMILY HOME LOTS, THE MINIMUM SIZE IS 1600 SQUARE FEET. AND AGAIN, PRIMARY BATH, BEDROOM AND BATH BEING ON THE FIRST FLOOR. THERE'S ANOTHER ELEVATION. AND THESE ARE ALSO IN YOUR PACKET. THIS ONE'S 1900 SQUARE FEET. THIRD ELEVATION. SO IT'S OVER 2000FT■. THESE ARE WHAT THE TRADITIONAL HOMES BUILD. I'M SURE MANY OF YOU ARE FAMILIAR WITH ROBBIE HALE AND THE PRODUCT THAT HIS TEAM PUTS TOGETHER FOR SEAGOVILLE AND THE SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES, BUT HERE'S AN EXAMPLE OF ONE OF THE HOMES THEY'D BE BUILDING AGAIN, THE THE ONES IN THIS SUBDIVISION.
IF YOU WERE TO LOOK THROUGH THE PD, WE WE HAVE REQUIRED ADDITIONAL IMPROVEMENTS. RIGHT.
LIKE A COACH LAMP NEAR THE GARAGE. YOU ALSO WOULD HAVE YOUR STONE MASONRY FLOWER BEDS.
YOU KIND OF GET IN THOSE EXTRAS OUT OF THE HOME. AND I'LL JUST GO THROUGH THESE PRETTY QUICKLY.
I THINK WE'RE ALL PRETTY FAMILIAR WITH MR. HALE'S WORK. SON HAS A FIREPLACE. SO I'LL GO BACK TO THE OVERALL CONCEPT. SO WE'RE RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF THIS REQUEST, AND I'M HERE IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS. AND SO IS THE APPLICANT, MR. ROBBIE HILLS, ALSO HERE. I HAVE A QUESTION ON THE COTTAGES. IT LOOKS LIKE I'M LOOKING AT THIS. THERE'S 31. LET'S SEE. 38, 38 COTTAGES. IS THAT RIGHT? DISCOUNTING THAT, LOOKING AT THE SPACES THAT TOP AND THE GRAY. WHAT WAS YOUR QUESTION? I JUST 38 COTTAGES. IS THAT CORRECT? BECAUSE I WAS LOOKING AT THE 42 ADDITIONAL OFF SITE PARKING. SO THAT'S IN ADDITION TO WHAT THE OWNERS WOULD HAVE.
CORRECT. BECAUSE THAT'S SUPPOSED TO BE FOR GUESTS. YES, MA'AM. SO EACH EACH COTTAGE WILL HAVE THAT TWO CAR GARAGE AS WELL AS THOSE ADDITIONAL PARKING SPACES. AND THEY THEY'RE JUST NOT GOING TO BE IN FRONT OF THE HOMES JUST IN THE AREA. RIGHT. BECAUSE WE WANT TO MAKE SURE SOME OF THE COTTAGES WILL HAVE PARKING ACROSS THE STREET. BUT WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT ANYBODY VISITING THE AMENITY CENTER OR GOING TO THE POOL IS ABLE TO TO PARK CLOSE TO IT. POSSIBLE. ARE THESE TOWNHOMES? THEY LOOKED MORE LIKE JUST SMALLER TWO STORIES.
ARE THEY DO THEY SHARE A CONNECTING WALL? IF YOU WOULD STATE YOUR NAME, PLEASE. ROBERT LEE HALE, PRESIDENT OF SHEPHERD. ACTUALLY THEY ARE. YOU'RE CORRECT. THOSE ARE JUST ZERO.
OKAY, SO THERE WAS NO ATTACHED WALLS. EXCUSE ME. THERE'S NO ATTACHED WALLS WHATSOEVER. WE REVISE THE PRODUCT DOWN FROM 70 SOMETHING UNITS, WHICH KILLS A BUILDER TO DO THAT TO GO SMALLER NUMBERS BUT LIKE IT. WELL, AND IT MADE SENSE BECAUSE THIS PRODUCT IS GOING TO BE FOR A MORE MATURE BUYER, SHALL WE SAY, THAT DOESN'T WANT YARD MAINTENANCE, THAT DOESN'T WANT A HASSLE OF A BIG YARD. EVERYBODY SHOULD LIVE IN A TWO STORY HOUSE ONCE AND HAVE AN ACRE LOT ONCE, AND THEY'LL GET OVER THAT AFTER A WHILE, BELIEVE ME. BUT THIS IS THIS IS JUST GOING TO. THAT'S WHY WE PUT THE MASTER BEDROOM DOWNSTAIRS, BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT THE MASTER BEDROOM UPSTAIRS AS WE GROW OLDER, RIGHT ON THE COTTAGES. SO ARE
[00:25:04]
THERE SINGLE SINGLE STORY HOMES IN THE REGULAR RESIDENTIAL AREA? YES, THEY ARE TWO STORY. OKAY.YES, MA'AM. YES. AND WE WORK WITH THE STAFF. WORK WITH MR. STALLINGS QUITE A BIT. THAT'S STILL A BIG LOSS FOR ME, BUT THAT'S LIFE. WE AGREED TO PUT IN PICKLEBALL COURTS, JOGGING TRAILS, THE INCREASE, THE CLUBHOUSE SIZE AND INCREASE THE POOL SIZE TO JUST INCREASE THE AMENITIES IN GENERAL. AND EVERY PICTURE THAT YOU SAW UP THERE OF THE FINISHED HOUSES THAT ARE THAT ARE PHOTOS OF HOUSES THAT WE BUILT, NOT SOMETHING WE CUT OUT OF A MAGAZINE AND, YOU KNOW, SUBMITTED, WHICH A LOT OF MY COMPETITORS TEND TO DO. BUT AND I AGREED WITH ALL OF BILL'S CHANGES, EIGHT AND 12 PITCH ROOFS. AND TO GET AWAY FROM THE COOKIE CUTTER LOOK STUFF. SO WE POINT OUT THAT 30 FOOT SETBACK. YES, IT'S A MINIMUM 25 FOOT ON THE ON THE SINGLE FAMILY HOMES ON A VERY FEW LOTS. THE BULK OF THEM, WE CAN DO 30 FOOT SETBACKS ON THE FRONT YARDS. IT WAS THOSE CUL DE SAC LOTS THAT WE DID NOT HAVE THE ROOM TO GO 30FT BACK. YES, SORRY ABOUT THAT. YOU'RE RIGHT. SO IN THE YOU WERE TO GO UNDER YOU'LL SEE GREENWALL FARMS PLAN DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT PAGE TWO OF 16 UNDER ITEM ONE D IT SAYS EXCEPT AS PROVIDED HEREIN, THE FRONT YARD SHALL BE A MINIMUM OF 30FT MEASURED FROM THE PROPERTY LINE. AND THAT IS THE MINIMUM STANDARD IN OUR ZONING DISTRICT, NOT 25. SO I'M SORRY ABOUT THAT. AND IT SAYS FOR THE FOLLOWING CUL DE SAC LOTS IS WHERE THE REQUIRING OR REQUESTING 25 JUST BECAUSE TO GIVE THE FIRE ENGINE THE RADIUS IT NEEDS AND THAT LOT THEY WANTED A LITTLE BIT FIVE FOOT VARIANCE ON THAT. BUT EVERYTHING ELSE IS THE 30FT IS THE I THINK THERE'S 16 OR 20 LOTS THAT WOULD BE 25 FOOT SETBACK IN THE REST OF THEM WERE 30. SO THE ZERO ZERO LOT LINES, HOW MANY FEET DOES THAT PUT BETWEEN THE THE TOWNHOMES OR THE WHAT WAS IT. WAS IT. SIX BETWEEN OKAY. AND THEN. YES I THINK THAT'S THE MINIMUM. IT'S IN HERE. HANG ON AERIAL DWELLING. IT'S IN YOUR SIDE YARD SETBACK I THINK IT'S GIVE ME ONE SECOND. IT IS RIGHT HERE.
IT SAYS SIX BUILDING SEPARATION, SIX FOOT ON THE FRONT PAGE. OH. IN THE COTTAGE. YES. YEAH. BUT YOU WOULD ALSO HAVE TO HAVE A FIREWALL BETWEEN THEM AT SIX FEET. YES. ITEM ONE B THERE SHALL BE A MINIMUM, NOT LESS OF SIX FEET BETWEEN SINGLE FAMILY DWELLINGS. WILL THIS. YES, MA'AM. THE AMENDMENT, ARE THEY GOING TO BE BUILT AT THE VERY END. ARE THEY GOING TO BE BUILT AT THE VERY END, OR ARE THE AMENITIES GOING TO LIKE YOU'RE GOING TO BE PUTTING IN THE AMENITIES AS THE DEVELOPMENT. YES, MA'AM. GOING IN. GOOD QUESTION. OBVIOUSLY WE WOULDN'T PUT ALL 300 LOTS ON THE GROUND AT THE SAME TIME OF THE SINGLE FAMILY. IT IS OUR INTENT, THOUGH, TO DO THE COTTAGE SECTION AND A SMALL PORTION OF THE SINGLE FAMILY LOTS IN THE FIRST PHASE, AND I BELIEVE THAT'S THE WAY IT WAS PHASED ON THE PLANS ALSO. RIGHT. AND WE'RE ALSO WORKING WITH MR. HALE AND HIS TEAM ON A DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT TO ENSURE THAT CERTAIN AMENITIES ARE BUILT BY CERTAIN NUMBER CEO. SO THAT WAY WE KNOW THAT THAT'S GOING TO BE CONSTRUCTED, RIGHT? I MEAN, MY ISSUE WITH SOME THINGS THAT HAPPEN SOMETIMES THE AMENITIES LOOK GREAT, BUT A LOT OF HOUSES GET BUILT AND YOU DON'T SEE ANY AMENITIES YET, YOU KNOW. SO NOT THAT I'VE HAD EXPERIENCED THAT. BUT THEN YOU KIND OF THINK, WELL, THOSE PEOPLE GETTING CHEATED, I AGREE, YOU KNOW. YEAH. IT'S NOT JUST GOING TO BE A SIGN COMING SOON.
THE THE COTTAGES AND THE AMENITY CENTER WILL BE BUILT IN THE FIRST PHASE. OKAY. THANK YOU SIR. YES, MA'AM. I HAVE A QUESTION. IT'S MORE. AS FOR YOU AS A BUILDER. YES, MA'AM. WHAT MADE YOU DECIDE TO GO TO COTTAGES? THE TRACK IS SO CHALLENGING WITH THAT POWER LINE RUNNING THROUGH IT. IT JUST DIDN'T LEND ITSELF TO ANY, ANY YIELD WHATSOEVER WITH ANY OTHER DIFFERENT PRODUCT. RESPECTFULLY, BECAUSE I THINK HE'S A SECOND BUILDER. I'VE HEARD TALK ABOUT COTTAGES WITHIN SEAGOVILLE. I THINK IT'S COOL. I THINK IT'S A GOOD PRODUCT FOR AN EMPTY NESTER, OBVIOUSLY A SINGLE BUYER OR THE NEW TERM. NOW DINKS DOUBLE
[00:30:02]
INCOME, NO KIDS. YEAH. WILL WE EVER ALL GET THERE? DOWNSTAIRS, MASTER? AND THAT'S WHY WE WENT FROM 70 SOME ODD UNITS TO 50. THERE'S. MONEY. YES, YES. BE GLAD TO ASK ANY OTHER ANSWER.ANY OTHER QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE OR QUESTIONS OF ME IN GENERAL. I HAVE NO OTHER. THANK YOU. ANY ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE WANT TO SPEAK ON THIS? OKAY. THE ALTAR ROAD. IS THERE YOUR NAME? YEAH, MY NAME IS HAN SREENIVASAN. I WANTED TO UNDERSTAND. ON THE ALTAR ROAD, IS THERE ANY ROAD EXPANSION OR THE. DO WE NEED TO DEVELOP ANYTHING ON THIS PARTICULAR ROAD? YEAH. SO THIS AERIAL HERE, YOU CAN SEE ALTO ROAD, WHAT'S ADJACENT TO THIS PROPERTY IN RED AND WHAT'S ADJACENT, WHICH WILL BE FUTURE LASSITER ROAD. THE DEVELOPER WILL BUILD THAT OUT WITH TWO LANES OF CONCRETE CURB AND GUTTER AND SIDEWALK. OKAY. AND I MENTIONED A DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT EARLIER ON. WE'RE STILL WORKING OUT THE FINE DETAILS OF THAT, BUT WE'VE KIND OF TENTATIVELY DISCUSSED AND BOTH GENERALLY IN AGREEMENT TO FROM THE EDGE OF THIS PROPERTY THROUGH THE INTERSECTION OF FARMERS, THE DEVELOPER WILL ALSO BE REPLACING THAT ASPHALT WITH CONCRETE, ASSUMING THAT DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT IS APPROVED. AND WHAT ABOUT THE UTILITIES PART? ANY WATER, SEWER, UTILITIES OR ELECTRIC UTILITIES HAVE TO BE EXTENDED AND WHICH ARE ALREADY IN THE PLANS TO BE EXTENDED BY THE DEVELOPER? OKAY. THAT'S ALL I WANTED. THANK YOU SIR. THANK YOU. ANYONE ELSE? OKAY. ALL RIGHT. I'M GOING TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 705. AND I'M LOOKING FOR A MOTION. I MAKE A MOTION THAT WE APPROVE THE AMENDMENT TO THE EXISTING PLAN DEVELOPMENT ZONING DISTRICT, KNOWN AS GREENAWALT, HAVE A MOTION TO HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE. NEED A SECOND, SECOND, SECOND, SECOND. ALL IN FAVOR? NO, SIR. I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING FOR YOU ALL AT THIS TIME. I THINK WE'RE GOOD. OKAY. WE'RE GOING TO CLOSE THE
